Glad to hear the fish made it ok. As long as the fin is still there, the nip will heal. We usually add some melafix to help nipped fins and wounds heal. With new fish you may want to hold off till they are adjusted before starting any treatment though.

Well I went out and got some more fish from the lfs.

Kenyi Pseudotropheus lombardoi
Pseudotropheus acei
Red Zebras
Striata Botia

To go along with

Cynotilapia afra blue reef
Labidochromis caeruleus electric yellow
Cynotilapia afra Cobue orange back
Labidochromis Mbamba yellow top

I am questioning the Kenyi but according to my compatibility chart ....... :\

I have 37 fish all together in a 125gal
Might be a bit much when they get bigger but right now they are only an inch if that and when I find out how many males Vs females I have in each group some will be taken away.

I have 5 of each except only 2 Striata Botia

The fish are doing great, only the real small guys are shy but the rest run around in a school together.

Can you say addicting!

Any thoughts on my tank? Like who will fight or whatever...

Oh, The Texas Limestone is great. They are small enough to swim through some small holes, probably wont last to long but well they are small it is cool to watch.

Good to hear the fish arrived healthy! I would definitely persue with the company that sent them about getting a refund on shipping if it was guaranteed overnight. :)

You may want to post the question about compatability in the ciclid forum if you don't get any replies on this thread.
